Case Studies

Documented Results from Real New Mexico Engagements

Every case study below represents a real EnviroDecon engagement — with real contamination data, real protocols, and real verified outcomes. This is what Forensic Restoration® looks like in practice.

Why Case Studies Matter

In an unregulated industry where anyone can call themselves a decontamination specialist, documented results are the only objective measure of competence. Every EnviroDecon engagement is documented with pre-treatment contamination data, treatment protocols, and post-treatment laboratory verification — because our clients deserve proof, not promises.
